Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has attacked a famine-hit camp for displaced people in Darfur, killing at least 40 civilians, according to first responders.
The RSF stormed Abu Shouk camp, opening fire inside homes and on the streets, said the local Emergency Response Room, one of hundreds of volunteer networks providing front-line aid since war erupted between the Sudanese army and the RSF in April 2023. It said more than 40 civilians were killed and at least 19 were wounded in the attack.
The RSF has laid siege to el-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, since May 2024. The local resistance committee, a pro-democracy volunteer group, confirmed the toll of at least 40 killed in Monday’s attack. In recent months, el-Fasher and nearby displacement camps have come under renewed RSF attacks after the paramilitary was pushed out of Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, by the army in March.
